True Emotion Mirrors love differently depending on your country.

Languages and cultures have slightly different emotional landscapes. Therefore, the way True Emotion Mirrors love each other has quite a lot to do with culture. However, we are not necessarily pure representations of our own culture because genetics and our reincarnation play a part; our genetics may well prove a line toward where we migrated from in previous lifetimes – or where we lived in our previous lifetimes. The ages-old egg or the chicken -question, but be it as it may, our genes, or our cultural background, or our past lives dictate what we consider “love.” The good news is that whatever your cultural style of love is, you think it’s the best there is – your internal culture, too.

Me for example, I am a Finn, but my love style is very Mediterranean, the same as I look physically. I look Italian (mixed with Greek and Spanish, maybe even a bit of Native American, but I am technically a Finn). Finnish love, to me, is quite boring, or even unrecognizable as love at times – until a proper Finn loved me. That said, we can LEARN to love the way another culture loves, but it is like learning a new language… Or learning to love a taste that first tastes funny. It kind of opens something that you previously didn’t own a key to access it.

Emotional flavors.

Emotions are much like flavors; in fact, we learn to get the taste of a lot of emotions. We can learn to love an emotion that we didn’t appreciate at first. Still, we do maintain tastes for other things, and sometimes two practically pleasurable emotions can be in direct conflict that requires a choice: If you feel that, you can’t have that, and that gives us a preference toward certain emotions.

You can learn to enjoy “negative” emotions, too, such as jealousy, anger, fear, uncertainty, rejection, and humiliation. A whole host of emotions are labeled negative, but even the emotion of being physically or sexually assaulted is not a cut-and-dry negative. Exploring our emotions should be a priority because as societies get safer and safer (and they totally should), we have to find a way to keep excited about life. The emotional danger in physical safety and variety is the key to it. You can see this in historical high society fiction, how people entertained themselves with complicated and secret romances that could not lead to anything but drama. Lower societies didn’t need and couldn’t even afford such insecurity, as their life was dangerous as it is. Playing with emotions is a luxury that only people who feel safe and secure otherwise can enjoy.

Psychic empaths should learn cultural emotions.

Learning the emotional landscape of different kinds of thinkers and cultures is very important for a psychic empath to learn to do. For instance, what do different cultures find funny? Our sense of humor is different. It seems to me that the British and Australians find narcissistic traits – having an unrealistic self-image – quite extraordinarily funny, along with wordplay – which may be a universal thing – but to Americans, playing on stereotypes seems to be the way to go. Finns joke a lot about the feeling of helplessness; when life takes an uncontrollable turn, and there’s nothing to do about it but cry or laugh about it, and as a connection to it, absurd situations we can’t control make us roll on the floor laughing – after the fact. While other cultures will connect to these emotions easily sometimes, sometimes not so much, we can all find the emotion if we’re looking for it – but to different cultures, the unified humor is always there, making it easy for strangers from the same culture to signal friendliness, unitedness, and absence of danger.

Emotions don’t always translate well between languages.

I speak two languages fluently; English and Finnish, the latter being my native language. There are certain emotions that I cannot translate between the two languages. One such emotion is the emotion behind the Finnish words “vitutus” or “kyrsiminen.” This is a prolonged feeling of “feeling peeved at” someone, but as Americans would say: “I’m peeved with my boss” the emotion doesn’t hold very long. Finns say, “kyllä mua vituttaa” or “kyllä mua kyrsii“. Translated, it would be something along the lines of “I am feeling this prolonged feeling of helpless annoyance.” We STAY in that emotion for longer, even after the sentence is finished, and are able to let that emotion flow out, but also we can enjoy it. There is no way to connect through the feeling of helpless annoyance for moral support from another person in English. Finns can stay with you in your annoyance and respond by being present while you fume. Americans would feel forced to try and cheer you up, but Finns would just add fuel to the fire until the annoyance turns into laughter.

Along this line, the word “love” can convey a different meaning in different cultures and even different subcultures. There are people who don’t even think the “love” you speak of is love at all… This means True Emotion Mirror love is not always the same feeling – but it is always mutual with a sexual and romantic element to it, even though the flavor of sexuality and romance may vary quite a lot between couples and soups – and even different combinations of pairings within a soup. Polyamorsts know this; even though they are the same person, the love they feel for two different people may taste entirely different but perfectly equal in preference.
